The Bangla Academy Literary Award, or Bangla Academy Shahitya Puroshkar (Bengali: বাংলা একাডেমি সাহিত্য পুরস্কার), is given by the Bangla Academy of Bangladesh in recognition of creative genius in advancement and overall contribution in the field of Bengali language and literature.[1]
It was introduced in 1960 and recognized six categories: poetry, novels, short stories, essays, juvenile literature and translation. Beginning in 1985, two more awards were introduced to recognize overall contributions to Bengali language and literature.
At present, the Bangla Academy award is given in three fields:
- Poetry, novel, and short story
- Research, essay, and science
- Translation, drama, and juvenile literature
